Evening Falls

Evening falls like gentle rain
upon the weary day.
The colors fade, then flash once more
before they pass away.

A woman is a tree of life;
the heavens know her grace.
In her is found an essence that
eclipses time and space.
The gift is given. Will we make a space
within the cluttered circles of our lives?
As mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and wives,
will we lay hold or run an endless race?
How bless’d are we by all of God’s creation!
What miracles attend His outstretched hand!
Adoring is our gaze across the mountains,
Appreciative, our feet upon the land.

When wintry winds and stormy seas
Make all the world seem bleak,
When hope is difficult to find
And peace is hard to seek,
Some of Thy children think of Thee
in terms that make no sense to me:
“…as large as life itself, yet small,
with no body or parts at all.”
If ever earth and sky should spin away
and love and truth lie crumbled at your feet,
when all around and in you cries defeat
and hope and faith seem merely words to say–
To move a mountain was my aim,
the highest goal I could achieve.
I knew all things were possible
to every soul who would believe.
